Today I have been struggling with the skimpy guidelines provided by the Modern Humanities Research Association that tell you how to cite materials found in archives. I’ve used Chicago and MLA for this in the past, and gotten quite a few migraines trying to get the citations just so. But these MHRA guidelines are really not too fleshed out. Anyone out there know of a site that explains more fully how to interpret the MHRA rules?

Modern Humanities Research Association Style Guide
Just when I think that I’m in pretty good shape for being conversant with the main citation styles (Chicago A, Chicago B, MLA, APA), I find that I’m forced to learn a new one. This time, it’s the style from the MHRA (Modern Humanities Research Association). I hope I can figure out how to use MHRA for all the complicated citations to archival materials I’m using for my article on McCarthyism and the NYPL.
